I don't get what is true and what is not.

It's basically cap nuetal if they trade him now. He has a $37 mil cap number if he's on the team this year or 38mil dead cap charge if he's traded.

They could also not execute a trade until after June 1st and that would split that 38mil over this year and next.

I think that's it.

Rodgers would love to move closer to the West Coast, where he grew up, where his fiancée Shailene Woodley lives and where he would have more television opportunities, including the possibility of hosting Jeopardy.

For a guy who holds grudges, it's still odd to me he'd want to go to the organization that passed on him the first time. That being said it makes sense he ends up there with him being a west coast guy, his celebrity wife, jeopardy hosting etc. etc.

Wait, what?

I know there's been a pandemic during the last year, but what draft hits did Gutey score with to help the Packers/Rogers win the SB in 2020?

The 3rd string QB he used his 1st and 4th round picks on?

The 3d string RB he took in the 2nd or the H-Back who tore his ACL 1 game in?

And about those FA signings to fill holes, um I think there was just 1 NFL team that did not n a single FA this offseason.

Any guesses which team that was?

Anyone paying attention knows that Gutey/the FO and Rodgers have been at odds for a while now.

For some odd reason, Aaron does not seem as OK about not getting to the Super Bowl for over a decase as the Packers FO (and apparently a lot of fans) seem to be.

Time is a flat circle.

They did have the number 1 RB, OT, DT, and Center all hit the market this year and kept all but the center... if they let them ALL go and sign a bunch of FA's that aren't close to those guys, would you have been happy? or would you have bitched that they let the number 1 DT, RB, OT, and C leave via free agency?

If he does get traded I hope it's to the Raiders so I could actually root for him next year. 49ers.. nope can't do it. Denver, I still hold a grudge from that SB in 98

He's so emotionally immature.

Also, he's not getting Jeopardy, lol, he was terrible. His ego thinks he'll have a career in Hollywood after football. His stiff and robotic demeanor says otherwise; he lacks charisma.

Mayock and Gruden would prolly give up three years worth of picks to save their jobs

If Denver is on his wishlist....trade him to Denver for picks 9 and 40 with a future first.

That future first is a top 20 pick because they won't make the playoffs next year.

Yup plus the Raiders need to fill that stadium and build a local fan base. Seems like a great fleesing opportunity.

If Aaron doesn't come out and say anything, you know it's true. He has always come out and put these things to rest in the past.

Zero chance the organization "told him that they'd trade him in the offseason". Like, just stop for a second and think how non-sensical that is given both the cap situation and the timeline of the NFL offseason. There's honestly so much BS and disinformation out there right now that it isn't even worth trying to disseminate what's legitimate.

He's also fueled speculation since season's end. He's a guy who chooses his words carefully and always has.

I want him to stop being a bitch, so :dontknow:

I'm honestly sick of him and would have told you the same thing yesterday before this came out. Dude is fragile and weird.

Woodley is a movie star? I had never heard of her before it was announced Rodgers was dating her.

Now would be a great time to trade him. You could still get a ton for him and he's at that point in his career where he could get washed up at any second. Plus if we were ever going to get to another Super Bowl with Rodgers, we would have done so last season. We literally had every factor in our favor. Plus our defense intercepted Tom Brady 3 times in the 2nd half of the NFCCG. Which Rodgers proceeded to only score a total of 6 points off of. Get his ass out of here.
